As part of their final project, students in Visual Communication (COMM 2305) designed and created a compact disc cover for the band Scheherazade Knights. The project required students to use Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator to produce an appealing album cover for the fictional band's debut album. The class was taught by Shannan Butler, associate professor of Communication, who described the project as "intentionally stretching the bounds of student's visual creativity and technical abilities--they were given quotes from various sources suggesting the bands eclectic sound and mysterious nature which allowed them to approach the project from many possible visual perspectives." Shown here are just a few of the many student mockups for the project.
